The carriage followed the people around and around, and finally stopped in front of a house.

This place is not remote, but it is not a center of people, it is just a relatively secluded area, and it looks very ordinary.

However, Bai Tang has already scanned the situation of the entire area through the system.

The house is not big, it is the specification of an ordinary house, but there are many people distributed inside.

Bai Tang got out of the carriage, and the two entered the house with the people.

The situation in the house is a little different from what is scanned, many people are hidden in the shadows, and all they see are ordinary slaves.

They were taken directly to the main hall, where they were placed to sit down for tea and then left.

"Master, it feels very wrong here." Seeing that there was no one around, Yan Ru whispered, while rolling her eyes and looking around, the alertness of every cell in her body was almost adjusted to the highest value.

Bai Tang just answered.

At this time, a few maids came up with tea and refreshments, and after placing them on the table next to her, they hung their heads and retreated, and did not stay, and they never opened their mouths from beginning to end.

Yan Ru frowned and looked at them, then looked at the refreshments, her brows tightened, and she directly took out a poison test needle and pricked the tea and refreshments respectively.

After seeing that there was no reaction to the test poison, the center of his eyebrows was still tightened.

Whether the thing is poisonous or not, Bai Tang can determine it herself, she can be sure that the thing is fine, but she didn't say it, and she didn't move it either.

In a few moments, the bamboo curtain of the side door of the main hall was lifted.

The first person to come out was a slender and thin, ordinary-looking middle-aged man.

Behind them was the man who had just brought them over.

The man lowered the curtain, followed the other, walked to his seat, and when the man was seated, he stood still with his head bowed, as motionless as a stump.

The middle-aged man raised his hand and lowered his lips, coughed lightly, and then bowed his head towards Bai Tang and said apologetically, "Please forgive me for neglecting the county lord." ”

Bai Tang had already put away the astonishment in his eyes, and said from the goodness, "It's okay, I don't know what Your Excellency will call?" ”

"Under the surname Xiao, the name is Yuanshan, this time I disturbed the county lord, I am really offended, and I ask the county lord to forgive me, but there is a reason for the fact in the next." The middle-aged man said.

Bai Tang bowed, "What is Mr. Xiao's so-called, but it doesn't matter." ”

The middle-aged man also smiled, seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and said, "The county lord is really as kind as the people say. He didn't say anything more, turned his head and nodded to the side.

The man who had been on the stake understood, and immediately turned and lifted the curtain and entered the side door, but soon the curtain was lifted again, and then the man came out with a young man pressed.

The young man's face was extremely pale, with some bruises on his face, and there was a mark on his cheek from a sharp object.

He was slender, his body was tightly trapped with hemp rope, his hands were tied behind his back, his eyes were covered with a black cloth, and his lips were chapped with dried blood, but they were tightly soaked.

Judging by his actions and demeanor, it was obvious that this person was awake and in good spirits, but he didn't make any sound, and he didn't even struggle, so he was pinched by the other party's shoulders and half-pushed out, and his foot hit the chair and almost fell.

"This is the reason why the county lord is invited to come today, this person should be recognized by the county lord." Xiao Yuanshan said, motioning to his subordinates to uncover the young man's blindfolded black scarf.

The black scarf was removed, and the young man closed his eyes, and his eyes moved, before he slowly opened them.

After opening his eyes, he immediately glanced at the few people present, and finally fixed his gaze on Bai Tang, and a trace of darkness and thoughtfulness flashed in his eyes.

Yan Ru's eyes were surprised, and then she secretly took precautions.

Bai Tang also showed a look of surprise on his face, and then frowned.

This young man is actually the left protector of Huanxi Buddhism who has been on the run, named Mu Mao, and his real name should be Liu Qingyang, that is, the culprit who poisoned the four princesses, and the righteous grandson of the old man of Puyang.

She looked sideways at Xiao Yuanshan.

Xiao Yuanshan coughed a few more times, and then exhaled before explaining, "The merchant who came from Xianai Tongcheng came to settle in this courtyard a few days ago, but found the Tibetans in the courtyard, fortunately, he hired a guard around him first, and then took down the murderer, and the servant recognized that this person was a criminal who had been wanted on the emperor's list before, and originally planned to escort people to the palace, but the servant said that this criminal was going to be sent to the Inspector's Mansion, and it happened that His Royal Highness the Ninth was with the army again, and he couldn't stay here for a long time, for fear that once he was sent, he would delay his trip because he had to cooperate with the investigation. It just so happened that the king practiced the sacrificial flag today, and the county lord also came with him, so he dared to find the county lord and asked the county lord to forgive his sins. ”

This person's reason is also perfect, if she didn't know the identity of the other party, she might still believe it, but it's a pity......

But even if he saw through the other party's identity disguise, Bai Tang didn't take the initiative to find out, just nodded and said, "It's okay, Mr. Xiao can be regarded as having made a great contribution at this time." ”

"No, no, no, it's just a blind cat meeting a dead mouse, I don't dare to take credit, I just hope to solve it quickly and return home." Xiao Yuanshan hurriedly waved his hand, as if he was coughing even more violently because of excitement.

"Mr. Xiao seems to be sick, it is better to ......"

Before Bai Tang finished speaking, Xiao Yuanshan waved his hand even more excitedly, "No, no, this is the root of the old disease, with the attack of the weather, it will be fine after a while, don't dare to bother the county lord." ”

Bai Tang's eyes flashed, and he didn't force it, so he nodded, then got up and said, "I don't know if there are other things?" ”

"No, I'm tired of the county lord." Xiao Yuanshan also hurriedly stood up.

Bai Tang also said, "Then I have to bother this person to help escort people to the Inspector's Mansion." ”

"Nature, nature." Xiao Yuanshan hurriedly agreed.

Bai Tang didn't say anything more, said goodbye and turned to leave.

After Bai Tang left, the middle-aged man squinted his eyes, a few flashes of light flashed under his eyes, and then he coughed again with his fist against his lips.

At this time, the bamboo curtain was lifted again, and this time out was a rough middle-aged man in a black military uniform with a big sword.

Seeing him coughing with his fist to his lips, the man couldn't help frowning, walked over, and said with some dissatisfaction, "Just throw people over according to the prince's orders, why do you need to do more, it is too likely to arouse suspicion." ”

Xiao Yuanshan squinted his eyes and smiled, not displeased at all because of the man's blame, but said, "I'm just curious, I want to see what kind of person is recognized by the prince, after all, what does this person say, he will be regarded as the prince in the future...... Ahem. He coughed meaninglessly.

The man just snorted coldly, "It's just a yellow-haired girl, I really don't understand why the prince ordered us to help her." ”

"Snort, you can't compare to the ability of a yellow-haired girl who has lived for decades."

"Phew, I want Lao Tzu to kill countless enemies back then......"

"Okay, okay, don't think about the past, you know it's the year." Xiao Yuanshan directly waved his hand to interrupt him, looking impatient.

Dahan wasn't angry, but snorted heavily.

At this time, Xiao Yuanshan took a sip of tea and asked again, "Have all the people on His Royal Highness Nine's side been arranged?" Be careful not to be caught by him. ”

"Don't worry, you think I'm you." Dahan was a little impatient, and then muttered dissatisfiedly, "Since the prince wants to help His Royal Highness the Nine, why hide it, it's just okay to be above board." ”

Xiao Yuanshan frowned when he heard this, his face became serious, and his voice was slightly deep, "The prince's decision is not for you and me, okay, don't complain, there are still things to be busy with next, how many martial arts people have come to the imperial city recently?" ”

"Not much, there are only a dozen people, but the kung fu is not shallow, and people have been arranged to keep an eye on them, but these people are not easy to star, and it is a coincidence that you sent someone to let Bai Tang avoid the ambush of two of them."

"Do they just want to do it?" Xiao Yuanshan suddenly frowned.

"There are probably one or two who don't think it's a good opportunity today." Dahan sneered.

Xiao Yuanshan's brows tightened even tighter, "And now?" ”

"Don't worry, I'll send someone to follow, keep and send people into the palace safely, it's just a small shrimp for the time being, it's enough to deal with it." The big man pouted.

"Okay, you have to keep an eye on people, if something happens, you can't explain it to the prince."

"Got it, got it."

On Bai Tang's side, the carriage turned the road and went directly to the Inspector's Mansion.

Although she doesn't care about the Inspector's Mansion, the leader of the Inspector's Mansion is still Wei Jiuli, even if he joins the army now to fight, his position is still there.

Bai Tang is also an old acquaintance here, and everyone knows that she is currently a celebrity, so her words also have some weight.

Listening to her instructions, Liu Qingyang was imprisoned in a secret prison, and then asked the adjutant of the Inspectorate to inform the monarch of this matter, and waited for the monarch to order it to be dealt with.

Bai Tang wanted to go to the trial, but without the permission of the king, she couldn't go to the trial on behalf of the emperor for the time being, so she didn't stay long and left, ready to go back to the palace.

"Master, there are still people following." The carriage had gone for a while, and Yan Ru suddenly whispered with her cheek against the door.

Even the guards who worked as coachmen next to him became vigilant.

Bai Tang had long known that someone was following, and there was more than one, since they left the house.

However, the system shows that the opponent is blue, and the malicious value is insufficient, so it is not possible to judge friend or foe for the time being.

The most important thing is that the identity of those people makes her very confused.

She could basically guess the background of these people, but she just didn't understand why they were them, and what was the purpose of their contact with her?

Bai Tang really didn't know Xiao Yuanshan, but she had seen each other before.

On the day of the opening of the Yude Hall, King Cong came to congratulate, because he accidentally found that King Cong's body was abnormal, so it was inevitable to pay more attention to it, and naturally the system also scanned the people who followed King Cong by the way.

And this person is today's Xiao Yuanshan, although his face is disguised, but under the system scanning, all disguises are hidden.

In other words, these people may be the people of King Cong, and not just ordinary good citizens who are merchants from other places, as the other party said.

And is it really just a coincidence that these people caught Liu Qingyang? If it's not a coincidence, then why, and what role does King Cong play in it?

Just as she was thinking, the system suddenly sounded.

Her eyes paused slightly, looking at the two red names shown by the system scan, and her brows frowned slightly.

The two red names were at the front of their journey, not the ones behind them.

Since it is a red name swept out, and it happens to appear on the way she must go, then the other party's target may be her.

"Attention." Bai Tang said.

Yan Ru and the guards listened, they were all stunned, their hands quietly pressed the weapon on their waists, and the afterglow leaned back, thinking that the enemy was the one who was following behind.

Suddenly, there was a sound of breaking through the air.

But soon there was a clanging sound.

The hidden weapon was interrupted by the silver taels projected from the inside of the car and fell to the ground.

Yan Ru and the guards were all shocked, but they didn't expect the attack to come from the front instead of the rear.

But the two reacted quickly, immediately took out their weapons, and then the guards rode their horses to speed up.

The hidden weapon was knocked down and did not make the other party give up the attack, and soon several hidden weapons rushed in.

Yan Ru's eyes were fixed, standing in the driver's seat, his belt turned into a soft whip, and he flew out like a swimming dragon, knocking out all the hidden weapons that were shot.

In the second temptation, the person in the dark estimated the strength of the other party, and this time he did not use the hidden weapon again, but went into battle in person.

Two figures, one left and one right, rushed in from the rooftops on either side, shooting towards the carriage like two sharp arrows.

Feeling the sense of oppression brought about by that internal force, Yan Ru and the guards' faces changed.

Just by breath, the two of them knew that the martial arts of the two people who attacked were above them.

But they weren't afraid to back down.

"Stop." Bai Tang spoke.

The guards immediately grabbed the galloping horse, stopped the carriage, and at the same time stood up, clenched the long knife in his hand, and posed to meet the Assassin.

Yan Ru also took out the signal flare from her arms and threw it directly into the air.

It's just that the flare flew out and didn't explode yet, but it was hit by a hidden weapon.

When Yan Ru saw this, her complexion changed again.

Seeing the two coming, they were about to fight, but the next moment they felt a surge of internal energy behind them, and the next moment, the two of them jumped out of the carriage directly sideways, and at the same time, the door was blasted open from the inside, and shattered in mid-air, forming hundreds of hidden weapons rushing towards the two people who rushed towards them.

Seeing this, the two people who were about to approach the carriage in mid-air also changed their faces, and immediately turned around to dodge on both sides, waving their weapons to shoot the flying sawdust.

But those sawdust were coerced by internal forces, and the attack was fierce, and it was not easy for them to dodge, although they did not hurt the vital point, but the two of them also hung up one after another.

Both of them looked at the woman sitting firmly in the carriage with astonishment on their faces.

In the days they came, they also secretly inquired about Baitang, and there were different opinions about Baitang's seemingly martial arts.

Some say it's just fists and legs, and some say it's martial arts, but they still prefer the former.

After all, Bai Tang is only how old, and it is said that he was still a fool before the age of eight, even if he was cured after the age of eight, it would take a period of recovery period, just a few years, it is not the most fake time to lay the foundation, even if he is a genius, he is not strong.

So they didn't take it to heart, but the more they didn't care, the more unbelievable they felt at the moment.

Just with that move just now, what they can be sure of is that the other party's internal force is definitely above them.

But how is it possible, they are also on the list of martial arts strongmen, how can the internal force not even be comparable to a yellow-haired girl, is it not Bai Tang inside, but who is fake?
